when you hit, you are supposed to snap your hand down, so it dosnt go out. here is a fun thing to do to help with that:
take a volleyball and find a wall that there is nothing the ball could fly up against and break something (preferably outside or in a gym) and hit the ball down to the ground at an angle so it goes the opposite direction, hits the wall, and flys back at you. when it is comeing back at you, hit is to the ground again, repeating what i just said. make sure to snap (bring your hand down really fast) while you are hitting it.
to get better at passing, here are some drills that will make you quicker, and better at passing. my team calls this the passing series. you have to do this with a partner, and they dont need to be able to to volleyball at all:
the first series is have you partner toss the ball to you, and you pass it back. do this 10 times. then they throw it off to the sides of you, so you have to shuffle to get it (10x). next is short, long. they throw it really short, and you have to run and get it. then right after you pass it to them, they throw it really long, so you have to run back and pass it to them (10x each). after, they toss it to you, and you pass it to yourself, then to them (10x) next, they throw it to you and you pass it to them. after you pass, you touch the ground with both hands (10x). after that, you pass it to them again, but this time, you have to lay on the ground and come back up to pass, lay on the ground, come back up to pass etc. (10x)
to get your hand postition for setting right, go up close to a wall, and set to it really quick. concentrate on your hands and how you are setting.
for your toss in serving, go up against a wall, about 1 foot away, and toss the ball and hit it against the wall. really focus on your toss.

* Start in the ready position facing the target.
* Spread fingers in the shape of the ball above the head.
* Form a triangle with thumbs and pointerfingers (hands should not be touching)
* Place hands directly in front of the face close to the forehead. This position is called NEUTRAL and is always the starting position for the set.
*On contact, set by extending the arms and legs.
Good Luck, volleyball is a lot of fun. [ JustxAnotherxGirl's advice column | Ask JustxAnotherxGirl A Question ]

SERVING
your toss is everything - make sure it's perfect - right above you dominant shoulder (the one you hit with)
make sure when you hit you hit it when it's at it's highest point
follow through - hitting hand: snap down, pointer hand: bring down to stomach (it kinda looks like your arm's in a sling if you know what i mean)
PASSING/BUMPING
be in ready position until it comes to you then make a platform - it has to be perfectly flat and not lopsided or the ball will fly off in weird places =]]]
USE YOUR LEGS - my coach always gets mad because i swing my arms - you're not supposed to move your arms at all actually - it's all legs
SETTING
sorry - i totally suck at setting - um just remember to make you thumb and first fingers make a triangle above ur forehead
im not that good at volleyball i just know what you're supposed to do but dont do it =]]
